Plea to war on crime


■ by Faiza Afzaal • CRIMESTOPPERS


■has launched a new initiative to encourage communities to come forward with even ; more information to


help fight crime. Inc national campaign


, will increase general awareness of Crimestop- pers, with a special focus on raising the charity’s profile with Asian-Mus- iim communities, who may lack the confidence to report or who are re­ luctant to come forward with information about criminal activity. The new campaign


targets all crimes, partic­ ularly those where peo­ ple are handling illegally gained money.


Lancashire Crimestop-


pers has seen consider­ able success over the past year; receiving 1,297 actionable calls, which have led to 255 crimi­ nals being arrested and charged. Almost £lm. of property has been recov­ ered, including £750,000 ofdrugs. ' L an c a sh i re C o n ­


stabulary is backing Grimestoppers’ latest


push to increase'caller numbers. Neighbour­ hood policing teams will distribute 500 post­ ers and more than 3,000 leaflets featuring the key messages of the cam­ paign across the county. 'PC Kay Armstrong


f rom • L a n c a s h i r e Grimestoppers said:


..“Here in Lancashire, Crimestoppers is incred-


: ibly successful. Our total conversion rate of calls leading to arrest and charge is 19.6%, com­ pared to a national aver- ageof7.3%.


' “However, one of our


aims at Crimestoppers is to increase the number of calls we have from Asian- Muslim communities.” . All callers will remain anonymous and may qualify for a reward. . Medina Patel, from


Lancashire Constabu­ lary, said: “Like any com­ munity, we would urge those in Asian-Muslim •communities to give in­ formation about crimes th a t


concern h po' them,


whether this is anony­ mously through the char­ ity Crimestoppers or di- rectly throu gh police.” The free and confiden-


tial Crimestoppers line is 0800555111

ONE of the biggest charity events, of the year has col­ lected even more than any-


. one dared to dream o f - a •whopping £50,000! Organisers of The Com­


munity Foundation Ball were thrilled when they thought they’d collected around £25,000, but because dona- tioiis to the Community Foun­ dation for Lancashire attract extra funding, the total raised was actually twice the amount expected.


: Peter Robinson, Chairman of the Community Founda­ tion for Lancashire, said: “The recent charity ball was a great success and because we are part of the Government’s ‘Grassroots Grants Endow­ ment Challenge’ every pound


.donated to us is effectively doubled. The result is that this magnificent charity event has resulted in a cheque for £50,000.


“This money has been raised by the people of Lancashire


• and will be distributed to wor­ thy causes within the bounda­ ries of Lancashire. ! “I’d just like to say a big


thank you to all those who at­ tended the ball and to every­ one who gave so generously.” Almost 400 guests attended

Kevin Horkin said: “It was


a glittering event arid by the end of the night we knew we’d raised at least £25,000. Incred­ ibly we have now doubled that amount to £50,000 which is a huge credit to everyone.”
